Can from HBB. It pours darkest brown with a dissipating foamy beige bead. The sticky, rich roasted malt upfront, earthy, some coffee beans, rich dark fruits, plum, date, prune, foggy pudding, some spice, dull smoke and some malt loaf. The taste is juicy upfront, bitter - sweet, good depth of tangy dark fruits, plum, prune, dried fig, raisin, fruit cake, eccles cake, malt loaf, earthy roast, coffee grounds, cacao, light treacle, candy sugar, rocky road, glace cherry, twist of orange and spice with a toasty finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Flavour and well rounded stuff. Enjoyable. Very nice.

440ml can from Craft and Berry, Sheffield - Cola coloured body, no head. Bready aroma, some caramel. Initially sweet with lots of dark fruit and malt loaf on the tongue, sit of yeast. Low carbonation but decent amount of oiliness.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from Caps and Taps. Pours clear brown with a fading, foamy khaki head. Moderately sweet, with nice stewed dark fruits, some toasted toffee, brown bread, candi sugar, Belgian yeast, plum. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish, more dark fruits, berries, figs, toffee. Lovely character. Highly drinkable.

Can, picked up at the brewery, lockdown style. The first beer Dann has been happy with right from the off. Nose has dark chocolate truffle. Bread crust. Hint of the orange peel. Touch of old leather. Some cigar leaf. Taste is pretty sweet, with a milky coffee vibe, and some yeasty, burnt crusty bread bitterness. Smooth on the palate with fine carbonation. Some stickiness on the lips, although it dries and gets lightly bitter towards the finish. Great beer.
